THE GREATEST IL CHARITY.
FRIENDS OF THE c. C.: We arc informed in the
Bible of three things-Faith. Hope and Charity
which good man should procure and that The
greatest Of these is Charity. And then. again,
Charity coVereth multitude Of sins"
But let us stop and consider the different classes
of charity. There are two, the one nj home and
she one abroad. In my estimation tlle former Is by
far the better Of the two. do not refer 10 that
kind OF charity which Dickens describes in one OF
ls characters who, thinking that charity began at
home, took her whole family Of five children with
her wherever she went, and. Dickens has it,
dealt out her charity by the wholesale"
once read apOcm Of a lady who attended church

little beggar girl crying for food carry wing
mother. The lady accompanied the child 10 ber
home, aud found in a tumbe-down boVel tie
poor mother lying on pallet OF straw la cor
How many. many such are lying at our
very door. while we send the money away by
which they might he made comfortable and happy
should be pleased 10 hear from others of the q
